Also, is there a better way to accomplish this?


There are a lot of buggy or unnecessarily complex answers in this
thread.
Use the code at the bottom of this CocoaDev link and be done with it:


The code you mention will not work for this case - Kevin asked how to
convert a url string to FSRef, not a file system path.

The first answer by Adam R. Maxwell is correct and simple:


       NSURL *aURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath];
       CFURLGetFSRef((CFURLRef)aURL, &output);

If in fact he really does have a string containing a file system URL
and not just a string containing a path, then no, this is not correct.
The URL creation should be [NSURL URLWithString:fileURL].

Yeah, I didn't think to mention that, since the parameter was "filePath" in the OP's code. The link stephen provided returns a BOOL (which I did remember to suggest!), so that's a good solution if you like categories.
